“On the authority of 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in a gathering of his companions when a man came, [saying]: ‘Ahad ... for you is like the reward of one who recites a third of the Qur'an. If you recite Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad twice, it is for you like the reward of one who recites two-thirds of the Qur'an. If you recite Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad three times, it is for you like the reward of one who recites the entire Qur'an.’ The Bedouin said: ‘Yes, the God is our God; He accepts little and gives abundantly.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: (‘Do you have wealth?’ He said: ‘No one in the whole of Banu Sulaym is poorer than I.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said) to his companions: ‘Give to him.’ They gave to him until he was content. 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf stood and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have a pregnant she-camel, less than a Bukhti and more than an Arabi, which keeps up and is not overtaken. It was gifted to me for the day of Tabuk. I draw near to Allah with it and will give it to the Bedouin.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘You have described your camel. Shall I describe to you what is with Allah as reward on the Day of Resurrection?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘You will have a she-camel of hollow pearl, its legs of green emerald, its neck of green chrysolite, upon it a howdah, and on the howdah silk and brocade.

He said to them: ‘Where are you going?’ They said: ‘We go to this one who has reviled our gods, to kill him.’ He said: ‘Do not do that. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.’ They said to him: ‘You have turned away from your religion.’ He said: ‘I have not turned away.’ And he related the account to them. They all said: ‘There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.’ This reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he met them in a cloak. They dismounted from their mounts, kissing what they saw of him, saying: ‘There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.’ Then they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, command us with your order.’ He said: ‘Be under the banner of Khalid ibn al-Walid. No one among the Arabs is more trustworthy than a thousand of them, except Banu Sulaym.’” Tabarani, and he said: Only Muhammad ibn 'Ali ibn al-Walid al-Sulami narrated it alone. 'Adi, al-Hakim in al-Mu'jizat, and Abu Nu'aym; and Ibn ... [both] in al-Dala'il, and [al-Bayhaqi] said: the blame for it lies with al-Sulami. He said: That was also narrated from
